The Award was given for our work campaigning against the Snooper's Charter: that's your work, emailing and visiting MPs, submitting evidence to the Joint Committee and now, organising local campaigning across the country.

Liberty also highlighted the range of work we do, on copyright and censorship as well as privacy.

James Cronin, our Chair, adds:

I want, on behalf of the board and all of our supporters, to congratulate and sincerely thank Jim, our staff, our volunteers and the advisory council for all of your tremendous work, which it is truly humbling to have recognized in this way.
